suitable for children? Are they adjustable to fit a child's head comfortably, or are they mainly for adults only?

They are very small and tight on an adult, but I assume that means they would be more comfortable for kids. But I wouldn't get these for kids, since as the above reviewer mentions they are VERY fragile. The ear cups snap off much too easily. Look up "Califone Kids Headphones", and those are great becuase theyre designed for, well, for kids. They're just average quality drivers in an extremely sturdy package. B. McGilvray, Next time your MDR-V150's break, step up to the Panasonic RP-HTX7's. Yes, they're more expensive, in the $30-40 range so not a mint, but they are well worth it. They are made of a pliable metal and covered in pleather. I've stepped on these (how my MDRV150's, and several other sets of mine have broken) before, and they just snap back into place. You can twist, bend, and pull on them and they won't snap. Plus the sound quality is also a huge improvement with deeper bass and crisper highs. They make the Sonys sound like they're playing through a pillow, and since your kids have already ate 4 MDR's they would have already payed for themselves. It would be a great investment for you, and IMHO a no-brainer. They are more of an adult size headphone, but on the smallest setting they would have no trouble fitting a child, so in applying that to the first post, the Panasonic RP-HTX7 is also a great sounding, EXTREMELY durable choice, but it'll cost more than the Califone's.

We have used these for our two children for a couple of years. They are 4 yrs and 6 yrs old. Just the other day, one broke but we've had a few years. They seem to fit my kids fine but both my kids have larger heads so if your child's head is on the smaller side, it could be an issue.

Yes. They could fit on a child's head. The adjustment portion of the headphone is ample for most any head size. Unless of course, you're King Kong. :P

One of the issues I had with these is they were tight to my head. I could wear them for an hour or so then I'd have to take them off because they hurt my ears. I remedied this by heating up the headband and spreading it a bit wider. The other issue is the "C" clips that hold the ear cups are fragile. They're O.K. for adult use. I wouldn't let the kids use them unless you like buying new headphones every so often. They are a great sounding headphone for the price though. I'm on my 4th set... yes, I have 2 kids...

Of course this would depend on the size of the child. They do move about pretty well for adjustments to fit. These muffs are seemingly well made and fold to where they take up little room when not in use. They also carry out their function well. I've never liked this "one size fits all" thing but in this case I would say they would do well with anyone in the family. I have a rather large head (7 5/8 ball cap) but these do well for me. They have a lot of "spring" in them so that helps with multi-users. Hope this is of some use to you.

In answer: They are perfect for both kid's and adult's. Love the fact that not only are they lightweight, but also very comfortable to wear. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

Hey Joe, That's the cool thing about these, they just fit. You don't have to adjust them at all,they are self adjusting. The inner strap tightens automatically to fit any sized head. Hope that helps.

My kid is 13 and wears them ALL the time and says they are comfortable. I'm not sure about bigger ears or head. He's probably about average head size and ears.

They fit my head but I'm not sure about all adults. Try a camo bandana for adults!

Very adjustable. I think it would fit in a small sized (within normal range) head.

They are adjustable. They fit my just turned 6 year old great and can fit an adult adjusted....I would say age 4 or 5 and up.

Yes- it was small on an reg. size female adult head, so I think it would be a good fit on a child.

Fits any size head.My 8 year old granddaughter 10 year old grandson wore it just fine and it also fit an adult very comfortably.I would certainly say it fits most head sizesM

There is no actual adjustment for this head set. That said, a lot would depend on the sizeof your childs head. I find the neck band a bit small for my head but not so much that it bothers me. Since the phones do hang over the ear I think your child could us them.

They're adjustable, so fairly long. Big heads run in my family, so much so that during my last year in pee-wee football I had to get my helmet from the highschool. If it can fit my head, they're long enough.

I also have a small head, and just tried them on my 5 year old daughter. On the smallest setting, they fit both of our heads comfortably, and there's enough tension in the ear pieces to hold onto my head without causing any discomfort. These are a nice tight fit. :)

I use it for my three year old and fits him fine. I can put it on my head too, i think the big difference it adjust to a smaller size than an adult set.

They're aren't too big at all. I also have a fairly small head, and they fit great. They're adjustable and they pivot to for your head very well.

I believe that the response question has already been answered. I have a relatively small head, but I find these to be extremely comfortable for me. I can wear them for extended periods with no problem.

They do not adjust very small-- I even think they are a little too big for my adult head.
